When I woke up at mid-night, I felt cold and then realized that a current of air was coming from somewhere. I got up to shut the door but found it already locked from the inside. The cold air was coming from the window opposite. The moon shone through it onto the other bed. There was no one there. It took me a minute or two to remember locking the door myself. I realized that my companion must have jumped through the window into the sea.

W: Are you a student in the intensive English program? May I see your ID card? Um, yes, we can certainly help you. Where are you staying now?
M: I just arrived yesterday. I'm staying at the hotel across the street.
W: Okay, please complete this form. Will you be living alone or do you have a family with you? Or, would you be interested in sharing homing?
M: Yes, I have a wife and child. They aren't here yet, but they'll ha coming as soon as I am settled in. My daughter is 4.
W: Okay, so you need a two-bedroom apartment, or would you prefer a house?
M: An apartment is fine, preferably close to school.
W: We have two choices available. This two-bedroom is two blocks from campus, but it doesn't have central heat and air. There is a slot in the wall for a unit air conditioner if you want one. It's $ 500 a month. Then, for $ 650 a month, there is this one. It's in a modern apartment complex, about 10 minutes from the university by bicycle, but it's closer to shopping, a movie theater, and other things. And the complex has a swimming pool and a Laundromat (自助洗衣店).
M: Could I see them both? I'm not sure which I would want at the moment. Sure I'd love to be closer to school, but my wife and daughter would probably like the benefits of the other one.
W: Sure. We can go right now if you would like.

听力原文: The quest for success always begins with a target. As Yogi Bear once said, "You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there." Too many people wander through life like sleepwalkers. Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, "What am I doing with my life?" And they don't know what they are doing because they lack goals.
Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction. Begin with a clear conception of what you want. Write clown your goals and date them—putting them into words and clarifying them. Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess, focus on fulfilling your desires to do, to produce, to contribute goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need.
It's important to visualize yourself accomplishing your goal. While losers visualize the penalties of failure, winners visualize the rewards of success. I've seen it among athletes, entrepreneurs and public speakers.
I've done it myself. I was terrified of air travel. I had read too many articles describing crash scenes and imagined these scenes vividly. Friends quoted statistics contrasting air and highway safety, but it made no difference. I had the opportunity to fly on a private plane with friends to a resort. I didn't want to miss out on a great vacation. So I spent two weeks imagining a smooth flight on a beautiful sunny day and an easy landing. When the day arrived, I was eager to go. To everyone's surprise, I got on the plane and flew. I loved every minute of it, and I still use the techniques I employed that day.

A.One needs to be careful with his goals.

Who Came First, the Chicken or the Egg{Page}
I just mailed the chicken and the egg, each in its own separate packaging, and kept careful track of when each shipment was sent from a post office in Cambridge.
Massachusetts, and when it later arrived at its intended destination in New York City.
In mailing the chicken, I was careful to adhere to the restrictions described in the American Postal Service's Domestic Mail Manual 57, as updated on April 3, 2003. This, the most recent version of the Manual states that: "Adult chickens must be sent by Express Mail. The containers used must pass the standards in International Safe Transit Association Test Procedure IA; be strong enough to endure normal handling; and ensure enough air for the chickens in transit... The number of birds must not be more than the container's limit."
I mailed the chicken in a wooden box got from a colleague who does research with birds.
Then, I mailed the egg in standard packaging obtained through an industrial su pplier. It's quite simple.
I posted both the chicken and the egg at 9:40 am, on a Monday morning, from the Harvard Square post office, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The staff there told me that this was the first chicken anyone had mailed from there in recent memory, and perhaps ever. They handled both the chicken and the egg skillfully and politely.
The intended destination for both packages was the James A. Farley General Post Office, which is located in Manhattan right next to the Penn Station train terminal. I took the subway from the Harvard Square to the Boston train station, and from there boarded a train to New York City, a distance of about 320 kilometers, arriving that afternoon at Penn Station. I immediately went to the post office, to await the arrivals of the chicken and the egg.The James A. Farley General Post Office is open 24 hours a day, so I was able to wait there until both items arrived. I inquired once per hour for both the chicken and the egg.
That day, Monday, neither the chicken nor the egg arrived. The next day, Tuesday, neither the chicken nor the egg arrived.
The chicken arrived at 10:31 am, Wednesday. The staff at the post office told me that this was the first chicken anyone had mailed to the post office in recent memory, and perhaps ever. The egg arrived that same day, at 9:37pm, 11 hours after the chicken.
Based on experiment data, it's now quite clear that the chicken came first, the egg second.
